Job Description

Extra Wavy is an exciting new addition to the Lafayette Square and Downtown West neighborhoods in St. Louis, set to open its doors in September 2025. This locally owned restaurant is part of the On Point Hospitality group, which has built a strong reputation in the city for quality dining experiences. Extra Wavy specializes in raw bar and American cuisine, drawing inspiration from East Coast oyster bars and traditional fish houses. The restaurant's menu features a variety of coastal influences and fresh ingredients, aiming to create a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for guests seeking both classic and contemporary seafood dishes.

The On Point Hospitality group also operates Yellowbelly and Lazy Tiger, two well-established venues in the Central West End known for their innovative menus and excellent customer service. Having made a mark since opening Retreat Gastropub in 2015, the group’s dedication to excellence has been recognized by numerous publications such as Sauce Magazine, Feast Magazine, St. Louis Post Dispatch, Riverfront Times, and St. Louis Magazine. These successes set a high standard which Extra Wavy aims to uphold and build upon with its new location.

The Server position at Extra Wavy calls for experienced, hardworking individuals who thrive in fast-paced, team-oriented environments without compromising on hospitality and customer service. Ideal candidates will demonstrate excellent communication skills and a strong knowledge of food and beverage menus, including expertise in rum and classic cocktails, which is considered a plus. Servers must be at least 18 years old and available to work primarily during dinner shifts from Tuesday through Saturday nights, as well as Saturday brunch service.

This role offers more than just a typical serving job. Working at Extra Wavy provides the opportunity to be part of an inclusive and supportive restaurant culture where respect and teamwork are paramount. Employees benefit from a dynamic workplace with ongoing collaboration to ensure smooth service and a positive guest experience. Full-time staff members are eligible for comprehensive benefits, including health, dental, and life insurance. Additionally, the restaurant offers competitive earnings potential, with current servers at sister establishments averaging over $40 per hour through wages and tips.

The job also appeals to those who want to contribute to a locally owned business that values its employees and the community it serves. At Extra Wavy, the focus goes beyond food service to cultivate an inviting and respectful work environment where all team members can thrive. Prospective team members are encouraged to explore the restaurant's presence on social media platforms to get a feel for the vibrant and creative spirit the brand embodies. Extra Wavy is not just a place to work, but a venue that promises rewarding experiences both professionally and personally, making it an excellent choice for individuals passionate about the culinary and hospitality industries.
